Survive the Arctic in Polyaris
Magie Pie Game has revealed that Polyaris, its upcoming first-person survival adventure, is set to arrive on PC in early 2026. While the studio has not shared an exact release date, the game is already available to wishlist on Steam, giving players a simple way to stay updated as development progresses. A beta test sign-up is also open, offering early access to a select group of players who want a chance to experience the game before launch.
Polyaris invites players into a harsh Arctic landscape where survival depends on quick thinking and constant vigilance. The experience focuses on staying warm, dry, and hydrated while navigating frozen terrain by ski and boat. Scavenging abandoned locations, gathering supplies, and confronting threats in the wilderness form the core of the journey. Fans of The Long Dark and similar survival titles will find familiar tension and atmosphere as they explore the lonely northern frontier.
The story places you in the role of an engineer and polar explorer caught unexpectedly in a remote stretch of land on the border between Norway and Russia. A sudden nuclear explosion devastates the world beyond, but your position in the Arctic spares you from the immediate destruction. In the eerie silence that follows, all contact with civilization disappears, leaving you completely isolated. With no clear answers and no signs of life around you, the frozen expanse becomes both your refuge and your prison.
Armed with little more than your equipment, your endurance, and your determination, you must navigate melting glaciers, use your boat to cross shifting waters, and uncover the truth behind the disaster. Polyaris aims to deliver a survival experience shaped by atmosphere, mystery, and the haunting beauty of the far north.
